Cowon S9 has a pretty good internal amp. Ive tried my Fiio E6 & S9 combo with Soundmagic PL50, Creative Aurvana headphones and Alessandro MS2i. Prefer the sound straight from the S9, the E6 just compressed the sound. I like using the "rock" setting, works for most types of music. Im...

Just got my MS2i's and love them. I've been using a Cowon S9 unamped and they sound great, so i thought id try my Fiio E6 to see what happened. Its not a match made in heaven, flattens the sound and compresses it.   What would be a good amp to go with the Cowon, and with a PC and DAC...

Same for me, would a little dot MKIII be a good choice? and any recommendations on a DAC to pair up with the amp?

Id like to use my Cowon S9 and connect it to Little Dot MkIII Valve amp for use with Alessandro MS2i. Is this possible with a Stereo 3.5mm male to 2 RCA Male Audio? Also if i want to connect my laptop to it will i need a DAC in between the laptop and the Little Dot?

Looking for some headphone advice which would be the better purchase, new Alessandro MS2 or second hand Grado RS1? will be used with cowon s9 and Fiio E6 with lossless MP3. Also used for listening to the TV at night when the little ones asleep and for guitar practice from a Line6 Pod2...

I use a Cowon S9 + Soundmagic PL50 and for the most part love the sound combination. Unfortunately i do find that this combination doesnt always have enough bass or warmth for certain types of music. Would adding an amp add a bit of warmth back into the mix? The E5 or E7 sounds as if it...

Looking forward to this review as im hoping itll finally make my mind up on the IE7 or IE8

AsciiSmoke ive had my Cx300 for almost 3 years now, superb earphones for their price range. it took me a couple of days to get used to putting them in right. not sure if my ears changed to fit the silicone tips or the tips changed to suit my ears but once you get a sealed fit the bass is...

i just cant make up my mind which set to go for to match up with my Cowon S9 i can get the ie7 for £117 or the ie8 for £175 just dont know if i can justify the extra for the ie8, or if i dont get them ill kick myself later

Ive got a Cowon S9 and an old pair of cx300. ive spent ages trying to decide what to replace the cx300's with ive gone between the Audeo PFE, cx95 and the IE7 & IE8. seeing as i cant justify the expense for the IE8 @ £190 im going to go for the IE7 @ £119.99. what im wondering is will i...

im still trying to decide if i should buy the IE7 or the IE8
